I have my Mozart signed into Windows Live on Windows Phone 7. It start synchronising all my Windows Live contacts. I dont want it to do this !
Ive gone into Settings and tried to turn off Contacts under my Windows Live account, but there is no option for it. I can turn off email content to synchronise, but not Contacts.
Is this by design with the new Windows Phone 7 ?
I can choose not to synchronise my Outlook contacts or Facebook contacts.
Can someone tell me how to turn off the Windows Live contacts, as this phone will suck if i cant do that !!!
I agree, it sucks, hope we will find a solution or that Microsoft will correct all these stuffs rapdily.
By the way, how did you choose not to sync facebook contacts?
I can't see the options in parameters=>accounts=>facebook...
So your is the same with the Windows Live contacts ?
For the facebook contacts, Settings, flick over to Applications, People > "include Facebook friends as contacts"
Yes, its the same for me for windows live contacts, no way to avoid sync.. the only option is for email (what a joke, why syncing windows live if its not to sync mails...)
Thanks for facebook contacts, it's cleaner in my address book.
Trick is to filter your contacts on the phone to hide live contacts (found under contacts, setting, fileter)...

Good people, I've been on Android ever since the Hero came out and right now I'm waiting to get my new Legend in the mail.
BUT, I've never been sure what's the best way to organize and sync email, contacts and calendar appointments. Do you store all contacts ON the phone and backup thru HTC Sync and Outlook, do you ditch that and go full Google? Do you use IMAP with Hotmail? Exchange Server server with private mail?
First some info about me: I've had a private email service for some years now and a Hotmail account. I've wanted to keep these because of the hassle changing, but I finally caved in and started using the Gmail account I set up YEARS ago (so nobody would take it). I've stopped using Thunderbird as a email client, I've stopped using Lightning as a calendar tool and I've decided to use Hotmail just for junk (ie. Newsletters, registrations on various services I don't need to keep track of).
Now ALL my contacts are "Phone" contacts, not Google contacts. I sync my contacts with Outlook with HTC Sync, but I NEVER USE OUTLOOK. I sync Google Calendar with the Hero and I only use Gmail with the phone.
You getting me? All the options are, stressing me... I need a way to consolidate all my contacts across the board, all my tasks, events, notes...everything, the same everywhere.
1) Would you change all phone contacts to Google contacts?
2) Can you change all "Phone" contacts to "Google" contacts?
3) Use both "HTC Mail" app with IMAP or just use "Gmail" App
- right now I get two notifications, both from the HTC app and the Gmail app.
Edit: I really with HTC could supply a tool, like HTC Sync, that would allow full control of the phone on you laptop, full sync capabilleties and the option to store it locally in HTC Sync (NOT Outlook) and in the Cloud as a backup.
ermmm personally i would sync all my contacts with gmail...at first its a bit messy cos u start getting gmail emails contacts in it but u learn to embrace it...specially if ur email list isnt way too big...syncing ur contacts with google is good specially if u have ORD(obsessive rom disorder) cos it saves u time backing up stuff...and it syncs via cloud so why bother plugging it in to sync
ermmm in terms of gmail i removed it from my htc app and just use the gmail app...the htc mail app is useful if u have any other accounts like hotmail or exchange or secondary emails...if u still want gmail on a pretty looking htc mail app u can just go to the gmail app and turn off notifications(that way u wont have 2 notifications for a single email)...
I dont know why, but every contact are now 5 times in my list.
what is the fastest way to delete 4 of the 5 contacts?
i've synchronized my phone, but cannot find a map with contacts.
i'm using windows 7
I'm not sure of the quickest way to delete them but are you using Microsoft Myphone or Syncing your contacts with outlook? If you sync your phone with outlook then check the contacts in there because if you update your rom, outlook will duplicate your contacts and not merge them. If you use the myphone service, login to it on a pc, go to contacts and click "find duplicates". Then you can delete all you duplicates easily.
On freewarepocketpc there are sum free apps to delete double contacts which work quite reliable.
Generally You should clean up Your contacts in outlook and snc ONLY with HD2,
The same happens with dates if they are synced both with google AND HD2.
So I sync outlook dates only with google one direction and sync my HD2 with Google only
When connected with Active-Sync I ONLY sync contacts and favourites, all other outlook items I do not sync.
I have many tasks/appointments saved in my phone's calendar (the default HTC calendar that is). Is there a way to save those entries and view them on my pc's desktop (NOT via a new window though)? Maybe some sort of windows vista/7 widget?
Windows 7 has a Control Screen for mobile devices. When you connect the USB cable and set up an active synch connection it should auto start the control centre.
In this centre you can synch your contact, calendar meetings etc.
If this not what you were looking for let me/us know
sorry for the late reply, but for some reason i totally missed your reply.

Hi guys,
I have been used to using Windows MyPhone for doing a on-line backup of my contacts from WM 6.5. This application and Windows MyPhone service is gonna be removed, so I wanna ask, what I can use instead of that? I have never found some frontend application for WM 6.5, that supports SkyDrive.
Thanks for reply..
Use Live hotmail. When you sync with Windows Live, your mail/appointments/contacts will be sync.

This has always worked well for me. As far as i know there are two ways of doing it:
Use the Windows Live app, which will sync your contacts and email.
Use activesync which will backup tasks and calendar too, as well as push email (delivers email in real time, not limited to sending/receiving every x minutes. have a look at this page http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_...ar-and-contacts-with-exchange-activesync.aspx or google exchange activesync hotmail
note that syncing with windows live will also download all your previous contacts from the server.
(not to hijack, but quick question: there's no way to sync contacts and not show messenger contacts in your windows mobile contacts for instance, is there?)
I had much more luck syncing with Google Calendar than with Hotmail Calendar. And it wasn't for the lack of trying. Syncing with Hotmail is like syncing with Desktop Outlook. Great while it works but once it's broken, it's broken for good. On the contrary, in about a year of syncing with Google I haven't run into a problem yet that I wasn't able to resolve. I am syncing Calendar, Contacts and email using ActiveSync, and tasks using GogTasks freeware. Contacts sync especially has been flawless.
If you can live with Google's limitations (no category support unless you buy a 3rd party app, have to jump through hoops to sync Tasks), I suggest you try that.
Hi
I just bought this HTC Mozart 7 yesterday and I dont know how do I sync my windows contacts. I got those contacts from my Iphone and i am very new to windows mobile
I dont have windows mobile center in my PC and I tried downloading zune (i dont know if that is helpful) but somehow it doesnt detect my handset
you can import your contacts from your Sim-card, than save them to your Windows Id account and edit in the Windows page. You'll have access to your mail, Skydrive, contacts...
You can also import contacts from facebook or other services like google...
I never use a iphone so I can't help you to transfer contacts by wifi, but it may be possible
O my god
Is that the only way ? Hell I am starting thinking of selling this phone, it is so complicated.
I dont have data plan i dont know how do I import
The future for PC and smartphone are Cloud services, so you will always need a good data service or wifi spots
Zune is also nice. It backup's all your data to your PC by usb connection.
You can also use outlook to edit your contacts; name, phone, email, address... and WP7 will import everything to your phone.
The oldest way to transfer contacts is by Bluetooth but only customized rom's lets you transfer data. I think it's not possible in iphones.
Don't give up, it seems complicated but its very easy, and as a lot of vantages. Old days when an accident append to your phone you would lose all contacts and data, now, with cloud services they are always protected.

found this on a web site
" To be able to synchronize contacts from an iPhone into Windows Phone 7 "
This is a three step move, with several minor details.
Let's begin :
1 - Start by install the iTunes on your PC :
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Next, connect your iPhone to your computer and then wait for it to show up as a device in iTunes.
Once connected, click on the "Info" tab and go down to "Contacts". Select to sync contacts with Outlook and then sync your iPhone.
This operation will copy all contacts from your iPhone (including contact pictures, if you use them) to the Outlook Contacts folder.
Just need to make sure that the contacts were sinchronized to the Outlook.
2 - The next step is to install the Outlook Hotmail Connector, depending on your Windows Version, 32 or 64 bit :
Download details: Outlook Hotmail Connector 32-bit
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...89-af2e-41f9-a175-f93e1377959f&displaylang=en
OR
Download details: Outlook Hotmail Connector 64-bit
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...f4-f4bf-4751-954b-5b36d80ec375&displaylang=en
You must restart Outlook and configure a new account, Hotmail, using your Hotmail username and password.
At this point, you are connected to the Hotmail.com service using Outlook, meaning you can send and receive e-mails from Outlook and to synch contacts
3 - You can now start the next step.
In Outlook, scroll to the Contacts of your Usual Mailbox and select all, by pressing CTRL+A and hit CTRL+C.
Scroll to the Contacts inside the Hotmail Mailbox on your Outlook and press CTRL+V.
Outlook will copy all the contacts to the "Cloud". Your Hotmail contacts folder online is the destination.
On your Windows Phone 7 device, click the Right Arrow ( à ) and then choose "Hotmail".
Press the Sync button and that's it.
there is an app in the marketplace for that
